Why This Matters Right Now
AI has changed how people find and book services.
If your site isn't optimized for it, you're as good as invisible—no matter how good your business is.
The new reality:
AI Overviews Dominate Search
Over half of Google searches now include AI Overviews, with Google's new AI-generated answers dominating results and pushing traditional links aside for many query categories. SEO alone is no longer enough—early adopters of AI strategies are already seeing bigger wins.

ChatGPT Shapes Millions Of Decisions
ChatGPT is shaping customer choices with over 700–800 million weekly active users as of October 2025—a massive audience searching for advice, services, and recommendations. If your business isn’t showing up, your competitors are.

Voice Search Is Everywhere (But Likely Bypasses Your Website)
Globally, people interact with voice assistants on over 8 billion devices—a figure that now outnumbers the world population. Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant answer billions of voice queries, usually without ever visiting your website.

Read the Juniper Research summary here:
Ignoring AI = Lost Bookings ggggggggggggggg
AI has fundamentally changed how people plan and book travel; the share of bookings made online is now above 70%, and over 20% of global travelers use AI chatbots to research and book trips before ever visiting a destination.

Real-World Case Study
Client: MiniYachts Hvar

Niche: Private Boat Tours & Transfers, Hvar, Croatia
Goal: Show up in AI recommendations for "boat tours Hvar" and related queries | Project Timeline: 60 days
The Problem
MiniYachts Hvar has premium boats, expert captains, and 5-star reviews—but they're invisible to AI. When travelers ask ChatGPT or Google "best boat tours in Hvar," competitors appear. MYH doesn't.
The stakes: United Airlines launches direct NYC-Split flights in April 2026. The last time this route existed (2022), American tourism to Hvar jumped 127%. MYH has 6 months to own the AI recommendation space before competitors catch on.
Our AI-First Research Process
Before writing a single word, we used AI to analyze MYH's business at unprecedented depth:
4 Years of Customer Emails Analyzed
GPT-4 and Claude Sonnet parsed 2,847 email threads to extract:
  • 73% of transfer inquiries mention luggage anxiety
  • 58% want multi-leg trips (Split → Hvar → Dubrovnik)
  • 41% ask about weather cancellation policies
  • Americans specifically search "door-to-door timing from airport"
12 Months of Website Analytics
  • 67% of visitors can't tell tours from transfers
  • 82% who view pricing leave without booking
  • 71% of traffic is mobile, but converts 3.4x worse than desktop
AI Visibility Audit
We tested 50 queries across ChatGPT, Google AI, and voice assistants:
  • MYH: 0/50 mentions
  • Competitors: 34/50 mentions—despite inferior service
The Solution:
We're building 47 granular landing pages structured exactly how AI reads and recommends:
Tours: Blue Cave, Pakleni Islands, Vis, Sunset, Family, Honeymoon
Transfers: Split Airport → Hvar, Hvar ↔ Dubrovnik, luxury hotel routes
US Funnels: United Airlines guides, triangle itineraries, American traveler content
Each page uses natural language ("Perfect for families with 2-3 large suitcases") instead of marketing fluff ("Flexible transportation solutions").
Each page includes 8-12 FAQs answering the exact questions customers ask AI tools.
Projected Results (4 Weeks Post-Launch)
  • AI Visibility: Featured in 15-20 ChatGPT/Google AI queries
  • Direct Bookings: +50-65%
  • Platform Commissions: -35-45% (€6,500-€8,500 saved/month)
  • Average Booking Value: +30-40%
  • US Market Share: 30-40% of bookings
Timeline:
✅ Research complete (20-29 Oct 2025)
🔄 Implementation (Nov 2025)
🚀 Launch: 25 Nov 2025
🎯 United Airlines flights: start April 2026 (positioning MYH to dominate queries around this)

Why This Works
Most agencies guess. We analyzed 4 years of actual customer data before touching code.
By launch, MYH will have the most precisely targeted content in their local market—structured exactly how AI tools read and recommend services.
While competitors pay 20-30% commissions, MYH will capture customers before they ever reach those platforms.
